Mao Saigo Shoots 66 to Take US Women’s Open Lead as She Chases Her 2nd Major Title of the Year

  • Mao Saigo, a 23-year-old Japanese golfer, shot a 6-under 66 on Friday to lead the US Women’s Open at Erin Hills with an 8-under 136 total.
  • Saigo gained confidence from her first LPGA Tour title at last month's Chevron Championship, which she won in a five-way playoff outside Houston.
  • Saigo held a three-stroke lead over a group of six players led by world number one Nelly Korda, who posted a second-round 67, her best US Open round.
  • Korda said, "I was hitting really good putts yesterday" but the putts "weren't falling," while Saigo described a difficult hole as "just unlucky" but unchanged in approach.
  • If Saigo sustains her current form, she could finish at 16 under, positioning her to chase a second major title this year with a strong weekend challenge expected from Korda.
